Dreaming of a green christmas

Being green seems to be higher on many people's lists these days, from corporate sponsors to rock stars to... me. I've always been a little green anyway but since having my daughter it seems to have kicked in gear even more. The thing is, I have habits that I don't even realize I have, ones that are certainly not too planet-friendly. I've really come to value the tips from Ideal Bite because they get me thinking in a new direction and show me all the cool new (and sometimes old) ways of staying green.

Like many Americans, every year, it's a tradition for my family to buy a real, live Christmas tree. For me, an artificial tree just won't do, no matter how much "Scent 'O Pine" is emanating from its PVC branches. So, real it will be. My goal now is to find a tree recycling place near where I live. Thanks to a green tip of the week from Crunchy Domestic Goddess, I found Earth911 where I searched for a tree recycling location using my zip code and found one about 5 miles down the road. Cha-ching!

If you are dreaming of a greener Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or other Holiday, you can hit up Ideal Bite for some good ideas. Subscribe to their newsletter and you can get your bites emailed to you so you don't have to rely on your memory to help you stay green.
